Laser-Doppler (LD) flowmetry was used to measure tissue perfusion non-invasively and continuously during neurosurgical operations using an LD scanner. Scanning was usually completed in 20 seconds. Measurements were processed in software to provide a color-coded image of the tissue perfusion. Moreover, the measurement data, expressed in LD-units, could be used for statistical data analysis. No physical contact was necessary between the scanning device and the exposed brain tissue. The imager provided two-dimensional microvascular flow maps non-invasively and quantitatively during brain operations, and could show the CO2 reactivity in the vessels. LD scanning flowmetry is a promising intraoperative monitoring method for cerebral blood flow changes.

D009072 Moyamoya Disease A noninflammatory, progressive occlusion of the intracranial CAROTID ARTERIES and the formation of netlike collateral arteries arising from the CIRCLE OF WILLIS. Cerebral angiogram shows the puff-of-smoke (moyamoya) collaterals at the base of the brain. It is characterized by endothelial HYPERPLASIA and FIBROSIS with thickening of arterial walls. This disease primarily affects children but can also occur in adults.
